The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 96: Sky Compass
It was another sunny day, the bright sunshine was shining down, and golden particles were rolling in like morning glow.

It’s a pity that Wang Wu didn’t get a chance.

So he was too lazy to go and just closed his eyes and pretended to take a nap. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard voices. It turned out to be the two human cultivators who walked out of the formation in the camp.

The young boy was fine, but the older human cultivator was a little weak, with a sallow face, as if he was injured in the battle last night.

But Wang Wu didn't see that he was injured.

The leopard Dachun was unable to get close to him the entire time.

what happened?

"Brother, is your health okay?"

The young man looked worried.

"It's okay, Junior Brother. You did a great job. If it weren't for you last night, I would have been in trouble. That leopard was so vicious that it actually refined a demon king-level poison in its claws..."

The senior brother spoke weakly, then looked around and said, "Junior brother, today is the beginning of autumn, which is the time when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth transforms. This is very important. Most demon kings, demon generals, and demon soldiers will never give up this opportunity. They will do their best to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Bring me my celestial compass. I want to mark the demons and monsters with growth potential within a thousand miles. This information should be enough to offset the loss this time."

The young man was nimble and quickly took out a simple little wooden plaque. He saw that the senior brother held a compass in one hand and quickly made hand gestures with the other. In the blink of an eye, the hand gestures changed endlessly like flowers. Then, a golden light rose from the compass and soared into the sky for who knows how many feet. Under normal circumstances, this golden light should be very conspicuous, but at this moment when golden particles were falling all over the sky, it was really difficult to detect.

Soon, golden phantoms descended from above the golden light. Various hideous and terrifying giant monsters could be vaguely seen in the phantoms, followed by some familiar and unfamiliar monsters.

Among them, there are blue wolves, black bears, one-eyed tigers, and a golden mantis as big as a house, standing on the top of Beishan Mountain. Is it suspected to be the King of Beishan?
Then Captain Black Hawk, Captain White Fox, Captain Black Spider, Captain Mountain Eagle, Captain Yellow Rat, and Captain Black Bear flashed by one by one.

Including the big mountain cat, and the fiery scorpion king from last year, and so on.

Anyone who is basking in the sun and absorbing the golden particles will be caught in one fell swoop.

In less than a minute, the senior brother put away the celestial compass and staggered, as if he had exerted too much energy. The young man hurriedly supported him.

"Senior brother——"

"I'm fine. I just used up too much mana. I'll be able to recover in a few days. Now, you have to keep this astronomical compass. If anything goes wrong, you and I can evacuate separately—"

"Brother, why do you have to do this?"

The boy was horrified.

"It's okay. I just said that if it happens, the situation may not be true, but you have to understand that our mission this time is very important--"

At this point, the senior brother looked around again, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and his eyes instantly became serious, "Junior brother, did you take away the formation stone where we camped before?"

"Ah? The formation stone, isn't it useless? I didn't take it. Last night, you were unconscious, and I carried you here. I didn't have time to observe the surroundings. Ah, it's gone. Who took it away?"

"This - this is the center of the magic vine. Apart from us, even the monsters dare not go deep into it. Who else can take away a useless formation stone?"

The young man looked around in horror.

But his senior brother suddenly smiled and said, "It's okay. Maybe I remembered it wrong before. I should have put it away."

After saying that, he returned to the tent and waited for the young man to return. The moment the tent was closed, the formation was activated and the place became empty again. Only by careful observation could one find that some air walls appeared in some places around.

Wang Wu listened to the whole thing on the spot, his heart was already raging with fear.

Damn, the news from that gray fox is not reliable. What about Yunding City expanding its territory by 3,000 miles? It's obvious that the human cultivators want to take over the Great Snow Mountain and use the point to lead the whole.

The big snow mountain in the east is at least a thousand miles away from here, so theoretically it is only nine thousand miles away from Yunding City.

If the human race expands the territory by another 3,000 miles, they will only be 6,000 miles away from the Great Snow Mountain.

This is not Earth, this is the world of immortals. It is six thousand miles away and is located at a high ground, with a thousand-year-old monster nearby. I just want to ask, can the land opened up by humans be stable?
Therefore, in this situation, it is impossible to adopt a strategy of nibbling away at the enemy step by step. The human race will definitely give priority to eliminating the threat of the Great Snow Mountain, and then develop calmly, orderly, and steadily. Isn't that great?

"So this war should break out within a few years. Everything depends on how well the human race prepares. For example, these two people were clearly sent here secretly to collect intelligence on the surrounding demon kings."

"Also, the methods of the human cultivators are really endless. The Observation Compass can actually see the potential of monsters of all sizes within a thousand miles."

"Also, will the spiritual energy of heaven and earth change with the four seasons?" "So, absorbing golden particles during the four solar terms of Beginning of Autumn, Beginning of Winter, Beginning of Spring, and Beginning of Summer will be of great benefit, right? It's a pity that such a good thing has nothing to do with me."

Wang Wu was actually very moved for a moment. He was impressed by the importance of these knowledge and experiences, and also by the fact that in this world of immortal cultivation, human cultivators really have the best of time, place and people. How could the monsters have such a foundation?

Although it seems that the productivity and social organization capabilities of some monster tribes are quite good, and they have already developed rough planting and breeding industries, and they trade with each other, and they also register all monsters as citizens, but this is obviously far from enough.

Unfortunately, he came from another world and turned out to be a monster. What will happen to him in the future?

Alas, my sense of security is declining.

Wang Wu thought worriedly, but finally forced himself to fall asleep. Regardless of other things, he just followed his own pace and planned.

He slept for a whole day, and when he woke up again, it was already nightfall. The two human monks came out at this moment. The senior brother seemed to have recovered a little. They didn't say anything, but quickly packed up their tents, left the forest, and headed straight for the river.

Wang Wu followed behind from a distance, watching them cross the river to the east before sliding into the river. After providing them with routine warmth, he stayed by the river, as he was afraid that the two human monks would make a surprise attack on him.

After all, that senior brother seemed very cunning and resourceful. He had clearly discovered the clues before, but pretended not to know. If things go wrong, he might suffer a big setback.

Human cultivators are really too difficult to deal with.

They kept guarding like this until almost dawn. Wang Wu almost thought that the two human cultivators were really eager to return to Yunding City to send the information back, when two sneaky figures suddenly emerged from the river. Although the cloaks they wore had a great concealment effect, Wang Wu had been watching here for a whole night, so he discovered them the moment they emerged from the water.

Sure enough, the minds of these human monks are too dirty. Why don’t they have the proper trust?
Seeing the two of them hurriedly going back into the woods, Wang Wu curled his lips and said, "You want to play with me, right? Sorry, I don't want to play with you!"
He turned and went in another direction.

At the same time, on the hill, the human brother frowned, looking at the formation stone he had specially left behind today, and the three layers of trap mechanisms around it, but they were not triggered?
Or was it just an unexpected random incident and he was a little too sensitive?

At that moment, he said nothing, pondered for a moment, and just retracted the mechanism trap on the ground. However, he kept a trick and left directly, just as if it was a surprise left for some predestined monster.

Wang Wu naturally didn't know all this. During the day he lay dormant in a corner of the hill without moving. In the evening he silently hunted some goblins in the surrounding area and collected some ripe berries. When he had accumulated 750 points of satiety, he would return to the top of the hill.

This time he did not find an air wall nearby, but he found a formation stone at the second camping site left by the human monks.

Well, if there is no trap here, just write his name upside down.

Wang Wu naturally had no interest in triggering the trap, nor was he in a hurry to gain resistance to the paralysis poison. He had plenty of time anyway.

In this way, he hid during the day and came out at night, taking a stroll every day. He walked all the hills where the devil vine was located. Occasionally, when he had nothing to do, he would pull a few devil vines to improve his life.

In the end, it was not known whether the roots of this devil vine had been damaged by the two human monks, or his resistance was too high, these devil vine branches had no effect on him.

Yes, except that it tastes a bit numb.

At his most, he ate almost 50 kilograms in one go, but in the end, apart from feeling a few more times of warmth, he didn't feel anything.

After more than ten days, the two human monks still had not returned, and it seemed that they had really left.

At the same time, I don’t know if it’s because autumn has arrived or for some other reason, but some branches of the devil vine began to wither.

The aggressiveness is also not as good as before.

When Wang Wu discovered this, he immediately realized something was wrong. It was just the beginning of autumn, the weather was still hot, and the grass and trees were still lush. How could a special plant like the devil's vine wither so easily?

"This devil vine has definitely been killed for its eggs. It's dying!"

When Wang Wu returned to the top of the hill again and looked at the core area of the poisonous fog, he confirmed this.

Because almost fifteen days have passed, the concentration of toxic radiation here is still very high. The soil on the ground is dark green, and you can vaguely see a layer of thick green poisonous fog sticking to the ground, which is not spreading at all.

It seems that all the toxins of the devil vine are concentrated here.

I don’t know what kind of evil things that human cultivator did here.

"However, this may be a good thing for me. It can be used to improve my resistance to toxins."

Wang Wu glanced at another camping site about ten meters away. The formation stone was still there. He wondered what kind of trap the human cultivator had left there.
Anyway, he won't be fooled.
